The third letter says that the two vacant seats in the council have been filled. The newly appointed members were Umar Naseer, and Ahmed Sofwaan. The letter also stated that both members got approval from yesterday's council meeting.
The last letter says that the council meeting held by the Yameen faction last night was not a legitimate one, as Party Council meetings can be called on only by the President. The letter said that last nights council meeting was not held under invitation from the President, and therefore the decisions taken in that meeting were void.
And the letter also said that the chief adviser of the party in no way has power over the party's decisions according to the guidelines. However, the President Yameen led Council meeting followed the ruling issued by the Civil Court.
